Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Jimmy I am a broker with passion for ALL animals. I graduated from UNC-Wilmington with a degree in management and now work from home in my basement. While in school, I started with rover and on my own working and training with pups. I spent a year working out of state and now I am back managing my own business from home. I have a bit of extra time and I would love to spend it with your pets! I welcome worried and/or first time users to give us a try. We know your pups will be dying to come back and play. This is not just a boarding house for your pet, I truly care about the health and well being of your dog and will make it my goal to ensure his or her total satisfaction no matter how long the routine. My price is a bit higher than the average And I believe for good reason. When your pup is with us, there will not be a dull moment. Now if you will excuse us...We're off to the park! Hope to see you soon! About this sitter: TRAVEL SITTING Hey everyone! I am currently offering these services and more in the Triad and I think I have figured out the best way to care for them. I will hear to ANY length of services for your pet while your are on vacation this break. I do ask for a simple pre-vacation "itinerary" that includes a quick day in the life of your pup(s), any special needs, favorite play spots, etc. I have found that this is the best and easiest way for sitter and owner to be on the same page. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. I welcome first time users to try my services. I can't wait to meet ya! Why I love dog sitting Since a was a child, My mother competitively trained our pure bred black lab and I grew up watching them progress. Dogs are amazing animals and I love meeting new personalities. I also love spreading the knowledge that I have gathered in my years of being around hundreds of dogs and their handlers. For me the "why" question is the easiest one to answer. This is what I do. About my yard I live in Winston-Salem near Hanes Mall and have a beautiful Fenced In back yard! This set up gives me the perfect opportunity fit every need! A beautiful huge wooded park area is perfect for long walks while the smaller loop right in my neighborhood is great for smaller loops. The backyard is ideal for "unleashed" playtime. It's a doggy paradise! My experience administering medication Yes. I am comfortable and experienced in administering almost any and all pet meds. I know this can be a sensitive area and I can assure owners AND pups that it will be a stress free process

Jimmy was awesome as always...he is so good with Brandy..she didn't initially like us driving away, but Jimmy was confident and reassuring, even sent a text within 5 mins of our departure to let us know that she had settled down and was happily chewing on her bone...we are all looking forward to her 'long stay' this week..we love the fact that he jogs with her..she needs a lot of exercise and he always takes care of that..

Jimmy did a wonderful job watching Riley for a few days. I am always worried dropping Riley off with someone new because he has a lot of energy and he needs someone who is patient, caring, and active. Jimmy provided all of that and more!

Jimmy is great! Coco took to Jimmy like a long lost friend and is totally comfortable staying there. He seems very happy there as shown in his pictures and Jimmy tells us how well he eats, sleeps and plays there. Jimmy knows dog behaviors and understands how to handle a dog. We are very particular who keeps our boy, who is a people-loving poodle-mix with some behavioral issues due to having been abused and abandoned before we rescued him 9 years ago from a New York City kill shelter. Jimmy is a highly responsible sitter who will care for your dog as you would yourself.

Information Jimmy L. would like to know about your pet

I would like a small, one page overview of each pup. This is not an application process just a sure way to help me prepare. Details would include the history of the pup, age, health problems, allergies, special routines, funny or odd quirks, etc. this will help me prepare accordingly.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Ohhhh boy. Walks will be in my super convenient 24 acre back yard, Lewisville's beautiful parks, Reynolda gardens, local neighborhoods, the list goes on. I love going on adventures as long as your pup is up for the challenge! If not we can always do casual strolls with your princess! Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your pup can sleep where ever he or she pleases! This is an old house and we don't mind a little rough housing. We recommend a crate because it is easy (and where my pups sleep) but if your pup wants to sleep on the couch, hey...it's vacation right? We like to have a little fun. Time I'll spend with your dog As much as possible. There are no exceptions. I am in class 10 hours a week and have an extremely part time internship during the week that takes up about 6 hours a week. Other than that your pups and I will be hanging out, exploring Wilmington, and enjoying the time we have together.
